More than 40 health-care workers at a Winnipeg hospital have been sent home to self-isolate after two staff members tested positive for COVID-19.

Health officials say it will have an impact on services at the Health Sciences Centre and some patients are being moved to a different area.

Manitoba officials also report nine residents at a nursing home in Gimli have developed symptoms of respiratory illness and are being tested for COVID-19 after a staff member there tested positive.

The province is reporting an additional 40 probable or confirmed cases, bringing the provincial total to 167.
